Which missile has a 2000 km range?
Iran has showcased its long-range ballistic missile, Sejjil, a solid-fuel weapon with an estimated range of over 2,000 kilometers. The missile is designed for rapid launch capability and features a maneuverable warhead intended to evade air defense systems. The Shaheed 3 is a two-stage, solid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile. It is reportedly capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional payloads to a range of 2,750 km, which would make it the longest range missile in Pakistan’s strategic arsenal.Pakistan’s indigenous SMASH hypersonic anti-ship missile, with a reported range of up to 350 km, has achieved a new developmental milestone, reflecting progress in the country’s domestic defense technology programs.Pakistan’s Operation Sindoor (May 2025) During India’s military operation against Pakistan, the HQ-9B batteries there could not stop fast-moving threats like BrahMos supersonic missiles. How it compares to others (on paper): HQ-9B (China): Up to 260 km range, tracks about 100 targets.Many people don’t know that HQ9 and HQ16 SAMs of Pakistan Air Force were able to intercept 7 out of 15 Brahmos missiles. This knowledge of success will further help in improving the ability of interception of supersonic or hypersonic weapons in future.
Is BrahMos 2 the fastest missile?
However, subsequent to India becoming a MTCR signatory in 2014, the parameters for Brahmos 2 will get enhanced. Its top speed will be double that of the current BrahMos-I, and it has been described as the fastest cruise missile in the world. Agni-V’s sleek, three-stage design cuts drag 35%, enabling Mach 24 terminal speed, longer range, and precise MIRV delivery. Shaheen-III blunter, heavier design limits speed and flexibility. Aerodynamics, stage separation, and surface tech give India a strategic edge over Pakistan’s missiles.Agni-V. Agni-V is a solid fueled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. It will greatly expand India’s reach to strike targets more than 7,000 km away.It is reported to be the latest and most advanced version among the Agni missiles. According to sources, Agni-VI missile is likely to carry up to 10 MIRV warheads and will have a strike range of 12,000 km, though DRDO has refused to confirm the missile’s range.The BrahMos is notably the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. Agni-5 is an ingeniously built advanced surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).
